In my last e-mail, I said: "So I am very confident that John Mitchell who married Mary Mitchell would indeed be Node T if he himself could be tested." Of course I meant John Newton, not John Mitchell. Sorry for any cornfuzzlement :) Gregg

Hi Folks, I don't have much/any additional insight above what Greg has already said. A few things should be noted when analyzing the results of the DNA Project, and what I say about it, as it applies to this issue. 1a. I've done no real research on the "paper" genealogy of this/these lines. So what do I know? Probably not much. 1b. When I look at the claimed descents, I mostly just use WorldConnect. 2. If you look 'everywhere' on the internet, there is probably not any Newton line anywhere that is not connected by someone (erroneously or not) to the Newtons of Barr's Court, or Sir Isaac Newton, or even Henry of Essex. So it is important that the claimed descents be true, if the DNA results are to be interpreted correctly. But one thing is certain - it is not possible for BOTH the Node I folks AND the Node T folks to descend from the same patriarch within the last...say ten thousand years. But that does not mean that Node I could not descend from Henry of Essex. And it doesn't mean that Node T could not descend from Henry of Essex. It only means that they could not BOTH descend from him. And, of course, it could be that neither descend from him. The only way to know for sure is to get a bona fide sample from Henry of Essex and test it. But how could anyone ever be certain that the sample is bona fide? I am representing at the Project 3 samples derived from John Newton m. Mary Mitchell. One is from son William. One is from son Henry's son Isaac Mitchell Newton (there was some claim by others that this was a different Isaac, but I lean towards the way I have represented it; that's why it appears that way). And one is from son Larkin (who others claim is not a son...but his DNA does match). There is another Node T person who has never replied to my e-mails, so I don't know his claimed descent. And finally, there is a Node T who matches Giles Newton. Having claimed descents from 2 sons (William, b. 1774 and Henry, b. 1771) that match DNA is more or less the Grail Standard for these kinds of things. People don't claim shared descents and match DNA by pure chance. So I am very confident that John Mitchell who married Mary Mitchell would indeed be Node T if he himself could be tested. Node I isn't so clear to me. The two participants don't claim (as far as I know) shared descent (but their DNA matches, so it is probably back there somewhere). And they don't even claim descent from Henry of Essex as far as I know. That connection is only claimed by 3rd parties, and, as I say, could be in error. All I know (or think I know) about those descents I included as URLs in my last message. I don't see any reason that there could not have been two Henry Newtons in Lunenberg/Mecklenburg both born in the 1720s...one a Node I, and one a Node T.

Gay, I agree. That connection of John Newton (b. c1750) to Henry Newton of Essex seems remote. Hopefully, as more material becomes available via Google Books, etal, doorways into those brick walls will open. I've been doing okay. I 've been laying off the Newton genealogy search for a while, as it was frustrating. I've been tracing the maternal lines, looking for clues. I even found some newly available material online about a great uncle who was 'lost' since the 1930s. With his rediscovery, I've since found a rafter of cousins. With the clues provided by Bonner's Newton DNA data, some clues are slowing emerging, allowing tighter search possiblities. Hopefully, as more DNA samples are made available, you'll find something to track John back a generation or two. happy hunting, Greg Newton 20 Pinedale #1 Houston, Texas 77006 USA ----- Original Message ----- From: "LYNDON NIX" <warpaint1128@sbcglobal.net> To: <newton@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 2:01 PM Subject: Re: [NEWTON] DNA v.49 NEWTONs of St. James Parish (VA) & RobertH.Newton (m.

Hi, I need to know if anyone is researching ANY NEWTON line in this area of Virginia and Tennessee about the time of 1790s and 1800. John Laughlin married a Phebe Newton ca 1794 in this area and I am not having a lot of luck finding any New ton males who could be her father. Thanks, Rachel

Hi Vivian, If you believe there will be men there who descend from Israel along the all-male line, then I would suggest that you order a kit from FTDNA and take it there with you and sample the person who you think has the most likely legitimate claim of descent from him, and offer to pay for the cost of the lab work. I realize it's very easy for me to spend your money for you :) I would also just print off a copy of the DNA Project's main page and take that with you. Show any potential recruits how DNA has already sorted out many of these families. Tell them that they may match existing samples with long pedigrees, or at worst, that they will at very least EXCLUDE many families from consideration, which is also useful.

I am looking for a male Newton who married a Louisa/Louise/Liza her last name unknown. I know they had a daughter, Margaret Anna who went by Anna, Peggy and Margaret. She was born June 23 1845 in, I think, Waynesburg, Lincoln Co. Ky. The father died soon after her birth. Louise/Liza was born Feb 1834 in Tennessee and I think her parents came from Ireland, based on a census record. I checked 1840 and 1850 Lincoln Co., KY for Newtons and found nothing. Any suggestions? -----Original Message----- From: Merle Newton <merlenewton@mac.com> To: newton@rootsweb.com Sent: Sat, May 8, 2010 10:52 pm Subject: Re: [NEWTON] DNA Vol.48: Sheffield/Matthew Newton (RI/CT) How should I send you the updated list? Thanks. I've corresponded with Robert Newton and he feels that we indeed are closely related.

However, it may change the interpretation of whether/which two families are related. For example, Robert M. Newton (#46029) claims descent from an Isaac Newton (1735-1790), and he matches you pretty close. So one could now think that perhaps this Isaac Newton's family is *perhaps* related to the Abraham Newton of Henry County you mention, rather that to the family of Israel Newton. Of course we would need a bona fide sample from Israel's descendants to rule that out for sure. > > Could you send me privately your revised claimed descent, so that I can update/revise the project's data table and your page at the project? > > Best, > > Gregg > > > --- On Sat, 5/8/10, Merle Newton <merlenewton@mac.com> wrote: > >> From: Merle Newton <merlenewton@mac.com> >> Subject: Re: [NEWTON] DNA Vol.48: Sheffield/Matthew Newton (RI/CT) >> To: newton@rootsweb.com >> Date: Saturday, May 8, 2010, 5:59 PM >> Big news in my family search, Gregg, >> I learned this week I'm not related to Israel Newton in Mo. >> but instead Abraham Jr. in Henry Co.
